I got a Dialled Price Albert a couple of months back. Love it, is so much fun and has taken a few hits already so know it can take what I throw at it. Dare say my Five will not be used for a good while yet...

Dialled Prince Albert! had mine about 4 months now, and its the best bike ive ever had. love it. its in a proper size (19.5), its comfy for long rides but its a load of fun thanks to its small rear triangle. cant recommend it enough

sked myself the same question, bought a Carbon 456. Remains to be seen how longterm durable it is but so far it's been quietly impressive. Best hardtail I've had since my Soul, for sure, and possibly better.

Interesting, you are comparing the Cotic Soul+carbon 456 right?

If so what would you say is the difference between them, cost wise its £80 atm, but i wondering how the ride compares.

Can't remember if I ever replied to this thread properly...I went for an Orange Pure 7 in the end, I bought the frame for £200 and built it up with ProII Evo hubs & 719 rims, a Rockshox Pike Air and a spare Hope headset. I'm chuffed to bits with it, it's very versatile, not too heavy and is most definitely a viable all day bike.
